Harbor View Road will be closed and a detour route will be in affect at 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. This will be in an effort to reduce standing water on the roadway by use of pumps that will need to cross Harbor View Road. The detour will be between Fort Sumter Drive and Quail Drive. Residents will have access to their homes at all times. Please follow instructions on message boards and be aware of crews in the area.

The Town continues to operate at OPCON 1 and is monitoring the severe flooding on James Island. We are asking residents to limit their travels if possible, and to stay out of rising flood waters. A flash flood warning for the tri-county area is predicted through 3:30 p.m. today and a wind advisory is in effect through 5:00 p.m.

Sandbags are currently available at the Chas County Public Works facility located at 615 Riverland Drive.

There will be no curbside recycling on James Island on Monday. The schedule will resume on Tuesday. The James Island Public Service District will not be picking up solid waste in the Town on Monday either because the Bees Ferry Landfill will be closed and the JIPSD Signal Point Road facility cannot be accessed due to flooding.

Following Charleston County's move to OPCON 1, the Town of James Island is also operating at OPCON 1 and continuing to monitor the threat of severe flooding on James Island. Roads are draining well now. However, high tide is at 2 pm today and will be higher than normal. The rain is moving North, however we are expected to receive more rain throughout tomorrow. Please limit your travel and stay clear of floodwaters. Sandbags are available at the County's Public Works facility at 615 Riverland Drive. We are working on having some available here at Town Hall. Please keep checking the Town's social media accounts for continuous updates.
